High, high, HIGH on my 2026 wish list is YA SFF, a cast of characters with distinct personalities, mayhem, pirates, humor, and protagonists with hearts of gold who are also a little too clever for their own good.

You know what I'm seeking? TREASURE PLANET. Please send me anything that comps! #MSWL

Are you panicked about platform? You can probably relax!

For many genres, your story matters much more.

Here's what platform actually means for each genre:

Does Your Genre Need an Author Platform? Requirements by Genre
Literary agent Noelle Falcis Math breaks down platform requirements for every major genre—from literary fiction to prescriptive nonfiction. Spoiler: Most fiction writers don't need massive followings.

"Time periods I like to read about: 1920s-present day. I don't read a lot of historical fiction older than that (like FOUR WINDS, OUR WOMAN IN MOSCOW, and Beatriz Williams in general)."

What I really want in a manuscript right now

*A literal laugh out loud romcom- I want to have tears streaming down my face!

*A swoon worthy romance- think Serendipity, No One Wants This
